After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

895 Ostentatious and Wasteful

Seeing how Zhao Fei took care of Li Gui so eagerly, everyone felt that this young man’s character was not too bad. It was no wonder that Li Gui would give the job to Zhao Fei.

There were some things that were not convenient for them to discuss at the venue. Li Gui ate a bit and then gestured for them to go out for a chat. Neither of them had a big appetite and there were many dishes on the table that they did not really touch.

When the service staff came to clear the table, she muttered to herself, “What a waste. Even if you have money, you can’t waste it like this! How extravagant!”

The others around did not think that there was anything wrong with it. They thought that if he ordered too little, he would not have succeeded in this matter!

Li Gui brought Zhao Fei to the house nearby that Qiao Mei bought. Qiao Mei did not intend to let Zhao Fei know where they lived. After all, Zhao Fei was only a business partner and their current business was not something that was lawful yet. If Zhao Fei betrayed them, it could cause them a lot of trouble.

“Xiao Zhao, it’s better that you call me Auntie. You’re about the same age as my daughter!” Li Gui said.

Zhao Fei did not seem to hear what Li Gui said. All he could think about was how Li Gui could have the key to such a big courtyard house. Moreover, there was no one in the house, so she was definitely not a tenant here.

“Xiao Zhao?” Li Gui had already walked to the center of the courtyard, but Zhao Fei was still in a daze at the door.

“Oh! Coming!” Zhao Fei then asked cautiously, “Sister… Auntie, is this your house?”

Li Gui did not hide anything and said to Zhao Fei directly, “It belongs to my daughter.”

Goodness! It turned out that Li Gui did not lack money at all! To be able to own such a house in the capital and yet not live in it, she must be from a rich family.

If Li Gui was so rich, then why did she have to come out to set up a stall to earn money?

“Auntie, why do you need to come out and earn money even though you have such a big house? Isn’t it better to enjoy life at home?” Zhao Fei asked.

He remembered that in the early days, there used to be a beautiful pregnant girl beside Li Gui. That person should be Li Gui’s daughter and she did not look like she was an unfilial person.

Zhao Fei was born in a slum in the capital. That area was extremely chaotic and home was a simple shed that was erected randomly. Later on, Zhao Fei’s father made a living selling junk and managed to leave that place with his wife and children after buying a small house in the village.

However, Zhao Fei would never forget the days when he lived in the slum. He had also picked up his business skills there.

“It’s not easy for my daughter either. I still have four other children. I’ll take a break after I raise these four children,” Li Gui said happily.

Zhao Fei suddenly felt a sense of admiration for Li Gui. There were not many people like Li Gui who still came out to work even though they had rich children. Many parents would blatantly ask their children for exorbitant sums of money.

“Xiao Zhao, you also know my current situation. Those people come looking for trouble with me every day and I really can’t run the business anymore. If you are really interested, I’ll let you sell the popcorn,” Li Gui said.

“No problem! I promise I’ll do my best!” Zhao Fei said as he patted his chest.

Zhao Fei had also heard about what had happened in the past two days. Recently, he had also seen many people sneaking around the cinema. They were probably there to look for Li Gui.

Li Gui was such a nice person. How did she offend so many people? She did not seem like someone who would cause trouble.

“Auntie, who exactly are those people?” Zhao Fei asked curiously.

“My eldest son, second son and third daughter were all beaten up by them. We fought back instinctively and their family member was also injured, so they started looking for trouble with us. In the very beginning, it was their eldest son who went to push my pregnant daughter. That was what led to the conflict,” Li Gui said.

When he heard about Qiao Mei being pushed, Zhao Fei quickly asked, “Is your daughter alright!”

“She’s fine, she’s alright. It’s just that their family’s son broke his arm and leg,” Li Gui said.

So it was all personal grudges. Zhao Fei had also noticed that Li Gui was very familiar with the director of the cinema, Cao Gang. On the day of the incident, Cao Gang was very protective of Li Gui. From the day Li Gui appeared, someone had already reminded him not to have any disputes with this woman and that she had a powerful backer.

He had worked for a long time in that area before he got to know Cao Gang. He knew that as long as he hung on tightly to Li Gui, who was like a “big tree”, he would not have to worry about his future.
